I do not provide beds or tents. This is strictly open land for those who want to bring their own camping materials.\*\* This is a property for those who really want to experience the desert at night. Camp under the stars with nothing else except the stark beauty of this completely undeveloped landscape. There's so much to do if you are open to the total experience of what desert life can provide. You never know who you will meet! Pack it in, pack it out, please! You may roll up in your own RV, camper, tents, trucks, yurts, sleeping bags - pretty much whatever you would like. There is plenty of space. I am a very flexible host and I would love to accommodate any artists coming to the area. If you wish to set up camp and put up your own installation or host a small community for artistic or creative purposes....please message me and we'll chat. I'm always open to fresh ideas about what to do with the land. You would be welcome to stay and utilize it for however long you'd like. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Outdoor pool ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - Outdoor shower ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Pets - Pet friendly - 10 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116240000/116237000/116236912/03c9588e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Bombay Beach Institute: Surreal 3BR Art House by the Salton Sea, WiFi & A/C Niland - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $144 CA $259 total includes taxes & fees Sep 28 - Sep 29 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-28&endDate=2025-09-29&selected=116236912&PinnedHotelID=116236912&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115800000/115797000/115796997/e3203e3a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Nest: Luxury 1-bed w/ clawfoot tub, outdoor shower & AC in Bombay Beach Niland - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $144 CA $171 total includes taxes & fees Sep 28 - Sep 29 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-28&endDate=2025-09-29&selected=115796997&PinnedHotelID=115796997&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115800000/115796200/115796105/54d57164.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3-bed house in arts destination Bombay Beach with AC, WiFi, and sculpture garden Niland - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $153 CA $270 total includes taxes & fees Sep 28 - Sep 29 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-28&endDate=2025-09-29&selected=115796105&PinnedHotelID=115796105&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102650000/102644000/102643976/966dc277.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy 80s Safari Style RV in Tranquil Bombay Beach with AC BOMBAY BEACH - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews CA $100 CA $198 total includes taxes & fees Sep 27 - Sep 28 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-27&endDate=2025-09-28&selected=102643976&PinnedHotelID=102643976&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions An adult age 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees 10 total pets ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Parties and events (including family gatherings, birthday parties and weddings) are allowed on site; maximum attendees: 16 Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
